Right now my foccing glasses. I just popped them off to rub my eye whislt posting in the ZXthou thread. I dropped em, they bounced off ma desk and fell on the carpet.
Now one leg has gone loose. Found my reading glasses and had a look. A wee clip on bit has gone astray that keeps the leg in line.
It cannot have gone far. It must be here. But can I find the foccing thing.
Yes dropping small items on the floor and not being able to find me. It cannot be far away but I can't find it.
Yeah I know. I can't find it. I can't believe it. Driving me nuts.And if I can't find it, well I guess all the optician will want to do is sell me a new pair. >:
Nice weather fae a change. Ideal for a wee trip.
This site on my iPad :\
For some reason whenever I go back a page the screen resets to the top of the page rather than where I was, so I have to scroll down and find where I was again.
Foccing annoying it is, and it’s the only site that seems to do it to me. :groan

If you have a vacuum cleaner with hose attachment, put a J-Cloth or similar over the end of the hose, then push the "hard floor" brush (the rectangular one) over the end of it.
Run this over the area where the bit was lost and it will be sucked up into to the tube, but it'll stop at the J-cloth which will let the air through, but not the bit, then switch off, holding the end of the tool over a bowl or similar.

[/quote]Women's weakly 1969 :lol Actually there is also an attachment you can get which is a bunch of straws that convert the one big hole into 30 smaller ones. Here you go https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223203117001
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
Ferrys!
ok so first time ever I have been over to France on a ferry (Brittany ferry Plymouth to Roscoff & return)
why do bikes get loaded first then unloaded last?
ok I understand we go on upper car deck as lower is for trucks etc but to let all those cars off before the bikes is mental.. the car deck was full of fumes choking bikers that don't have any air filtration whilst cagers sit there happily revving their engines!
yes it was good how they had all the straps ready etc but surely they should be on an inside lane so unloading would be quicker..
but it was nice to meet lots friendly bikers / motorcyclists

Actually I learned that one from Railway Modeller back in the early 1980s when I built my own model layout as a kid
It's a quick way to put ballast under the track, you mark out where the track is to go, spread PVA glue on the base board, pin down the track, then just pour the ballast along the length.
Wait for the glue to set and use the J-Cloth trick to vacuum up any that hasn't stuck :thumbup

So there I am watching u tube presentations of professors of ancient sumerian cultures and the cuniform tablets. The epic of gilgamesh no less, which leads me to the flood story that pre dates the one in the book - that book. So then I search flood stories and bring up loads - so I filter by most watched. And what comes up with most watched ----- focing Evan Almighty 13M views FFS :eek -- may as well just drink beer and be stupid.

I've picked up on Joe Rogan's podcast for some interesting discussions: scientists, philosophers, comedians, sportsmen (mostly martial arts with Joe), and not heavily pc like tv stuff. Then I go off and look at some of the podcasts and stuff by Joe's guests. Plenty to keep me thinking. Wouldn't mind finding a good history one though - must have a trawl through.
